| - While I wanted to love the Original Pancake House, I just wasn't impressed by my food - or the portions. The restaurant itself seems lovely, but I'll need to try something else if I ever come here again.
PROS:
-Presentation of food was great. Whomever was in the kitchen clearly wanted all of the food that made it to the table to look pretty.
-Restaurant is in a good location for hitting up a lot of the other Westgate businesses. It's part of a long, multi-curved strip mall, so you can get breakfast then hit shopping - or do it the other way around - without having to move your car.
-Restaurant has free Wi-Fi. Did not utilize this.
-Despite coming on a Sunday early-afternoon with a slight wait, they were able to get me in relatively quickly. It was a very peaceful dining experience with my waitress checking in regularly, getting service/refills as necessary, and never having to wait too long for any "step" of the restaurant process. Food was served quickly, order was taken quickly, and check was taken care-of quickly.
CONS:
-I ordered a Nutella crepe and a single waffle. When I asked the waitress how filling these items were, she assured me that I wouldn't be able to finish if I ordered them both. I left the restaurant still feeling hungry - and I'm usually the person in my party who can't finish their ordered dish.
-The Nutella Crepe wasn't good at all. Probably one of the worst I've ever tried. The crepe itself was light and fluffy and very egg-like. Perfect for a Savory-type of crepe. However, it has virtually no Nutella on it outside of a small dollop on the top of the rolling crepe. If you're not looking for sweet when you order a dessert-like crepe, that might be a good fit for you, but I was pretty disappointed.
-The Cherry Waffle was very beautiful, and it tasted pretty good, but again, light on the "toppings" that were ordered with it. I expected something that claimed to be made with in-house-made cherry sauce to have a decent amount of the sauce on it.
